What did you call your grandparents?

In Lonesome Dove · 2014-10-28 20:03:06

A new edition came into the family recently and the baby is the first grandchild for my mother. My mother does not want to be called granny or the Irish - mamó. My mother is in need of a name for herself for the grandchild aside from granny or mamó. Any ideas? What did you call your grandparents?

Only have the one left and call her by her first name (Blossom), when we were little she was Mammy Blossom to all the grandkids.
